Chainlink Partners with Solana

Popular Oracle platform, Chainlink, is set to bring top-speed and high-quality data to blockchain firm, Solana.

According to its Medium blog post, the blockchain network disclosed that it has entered into a strategic partnership with Chainlink. The alliance aims to use Chainlink as the chief Oracle solution in all Solana DApps.

Chainlink, as part of this deal, would enhance Solana blockchain users by introducing high quality and super-fast price Oracle data.

According to the reports, Chainlink would provide DApps on Solana with secure access to an array of inputs and outputs, along with deployment of self-made Oracle solutions.

Recently, Solana came out with the Solana Accelerator program, designed to assist developers to create DeFi products. It will also prevent difficulties like overheads, overtime situations, security snags, etc, which often pops-up during deployment.

The Chainlink network features that the Solana team is looking to make the most use of, include:

Excellent execution speed

Safety from security risks

Delivery and communication proficiency

Inputs and outputs that are practically impossible to interfere with

Customized high-end solutions to suit a variety of DApps

About Chainlink

Chainlink is one of the most important Oracle networks available today. Using multiple independent nodes, it provides decentralization solutions at the Oracle as well as data source level.

The feature also enables users to stop errors arising from the failure of a single Oracle network point. This also ensures that one data source does not serve as the source of truth on the network.

Chainlink currently offers credible and secure market data via its Price Reference Contracts (PRC). PRC is a collection of decentralized oracle networks, live on mainnet, offering more than 25 secure price feeds. Now, each individual PRC is designed to get support from at least seven of 30 independent, secured, and Sybil resistant nodes. All the feedback is then collated into a single data point that gives required updates at specified intervals.
